everything was perfect area, location, except no free internet we bought a phone service for $30 with 500 minutes anywhere in the world and 500 mb of internet that was plenty for us it lasted for our 12 days trip

Room Tip: ask for higher floor and away from the main road because it get noisy in the morning

We just had the loveliest stay at The Grace in Sydney.....We couldn't fault anything....great staff - very very helpful. So handy to everything and we couldn't have asked for more ! We had occasion to ask for advice from the Concierge Desk twice and both times with different Staff - each of them a delight - thanks - we will be back !

I stayed here on business.First the positives - the building is wonderful, and the location is great, right in the middle of the CBD, a couple of blocks from Darling Harbour.That's where the positives end.We arrived to be ignored by one staff member and then served by another who proceeded to tell us how he didn't like working there and asked about what we did for a living and said he would rather be doing that. Fat chance.Being in the middle of Sydney of course it's impossible to get a car park, so Grace stings you $45 for their valet parking, which isn't so much a valet service as it was one little man running around trying to jam as many cars into a basement as he can(we had to wait to park, then wait even longer to get our car out).The rooms were obviously once fantastic but are now run down and not so clean. Many of the surfaces are worn or dirty(see pictures).The thing that really annoyed my in this place was that they charge $25 for internet. This is criminal and shows just how far behind the times they are. I will never ever stay there again(and will go out of my way to make sure nobody in my business does) due to this fact alone.This place is so money hungry they don't even give you a toothbrush - which was another source of annoyance because I had forgot mine.They charge like a 5 star hotel but provide 2 star service.Avoid this place - as another reviewer here has written if you are going to pay this much money you might as well stay somewhere where you are overlooking the harbour in a place where they actually care about their customers.

Dear hoteltron,

Thank you for taking your time to write a review on our hotel.

I am very disappointed to read that your recent stay had not been satisfactory and that we have not met your expectations. Please allow us to apologise for the lack of customer service experienced and certainly will look into this matter internally as well.

The car parking facility which opens for public, Plaza Parking is operated by a separate entity and unfortunately they do not offer a valet service. However they do offer our in-house guests $45 discounted car parking rate for 24-hours access instead of the full price $65 overnight cost.

In regards to the internet cost of $25 per day, our management is currently reviewing this matter to provide better levels of service and experience for guests staying with us.

Once again, thank you for your time taken to write this feedback.

Kind regards, Christina MendietaGuest Relations Manager

We stayed here for 1 night with friend. Location is fabulous but no view. Loved the lap pool and spa. Our room was very nice. Breakfast was fabulous. We got our room on last minute.com secrets so we got a good deal. I probably wouldn't pay the $ they want on most web sites though. Love all the pubs and bars surrounding. Very quiet hotel.

I stayed at the Grace for work and it's a great location in the middle of Sydney but it does feel a little soulless. If you're going to pay that kind of cash get somewhere with a view of darling harbour.

Also I got the room service and it was pretty bloody average particularly given the prices.

Can't fault the staff and the room very comfortable and quiet and staff were friendly.
